Kreuzlingen (Switzerland), Bärenstrasse. 12: This is where the power of
herbs is extracted, then matured for months in cellars as would a noble
wine, according to the wealth of experience gathered since 1890, combined with the latest scientific methods.
The success story from Kreuzlingen
began in 1890 when the German master hair-stylist Josef Wilhelm Rausch
developed the first liquid hair washing
soap “Champooing” using herbal juices, tinctures and extracts.
Health and beauty for skin and hair are
a worldwide need. RAUSCH has been
exporting to Austria since 1971, and is
exclusively available there in pharmacies, drugstores and perfumeries. Today RAUSCH supplies over 25 countries across the globe including the
Near East and Far East. As a family
business, RAUSCH thinks, plans and
acts globally. It is treasured all over the
world and firmly enrooted, as an employer, on the shores of Lake Constance in Switzerland.

A healthy scalp,
beautiful hair
Causes and appearance
Healthy, beautiful hair is primarily characterized
by a smooth surface. This is made up of countless layers of scales which lie flat over one
another. The scales lie snugly along the hair
and are rounded. This is the reason why light is
evenly reflected from a healthy head of hair, giv-
ing it a beautiful lustre. Normally the hair has a
regular form from the root to the tip. This keeps
the hair supple, giving it bounce and swing.
Thanks to a healthy scalp the hair tends neither
to excessive oiliness nor dryness.

A healthy scalp, beautiful hair
The power of herbs
Chamomile flowers (Matricariae flos)
Chamomile has been used in traditional folk medicine for centuries and is a popular medicinal plant. Its valuable active ingre­
dients have a soothing effect, are anti-inflammatory and bacte­
ricidal. Chamomile flower extract has antiseptic active ingredients
such as azulene, apigenin, apigenin-7-glycoside, bisabolol, flavonoids etc. and gives the scalp a gentle and equalizing conditioning treatment. Soothes redness and prevents irritation.
Nettle (Urtica dioica L.)
Nettle has always played a major role in hair care. The plant contains a multitude of active ingredients including vitamins, tannins,
mineral salts, and valuable amino acids. It effectively supports
the functions of the scalp and encourages hair regrowth.
Plantain (Plantago lanceolata L.)
Plantain is found along country roads and also in the finest lawns
in parks. Its elegant fibrous pointy leaves contain extremely mild
mucilages as well as silicic acid, tannins, flavonoids and minerals
with a high percentage of zinc and potassium. Plantain has an
anti-inflammatory, soothing and strengthening effect on the scalp.
Horsetail (Equisetum arvense L.)
Horsetail is rich in pure natural silicic acid, which has a particularly positive effect on the connective tissue in the scalp. It
also smoothes the external (cuticle) layer of the hair making it
stronger and more resistant. Hair becomes more supple and naturally shiny.
Houseleek (Sempervivum tectorum L.)
Houseleek is rich in soothing, anti-inflammatory mucilages.
Houseleek exttract effectively protects the hair and has a soothing effect on the functions of the scalp.

Feines, empfindliches Haar

for fine and
sensitive hair
Fine and sensitive hair
Causes and appearance
Children often have very fine hair. As they grow
older their hair usually becomes thicker and
stronger. Having fine hair as an adult is usually
genetic. Also with increasing age, when hormone production starts to decrease, hair can
become thinner. Fine hair may be thinner than
normal hair, but there are more of them mea­
suring on average 0.03 to 0.05 mm in diameter.
Fine hair is not as full, is more sensitive and
reacts faster to friction caused by brushes and
combs, e.g. becomes electrostatically charged.

Fine and sensitive hair
The power of herbs
Mallow (Malva sylvestris L.)
The mallow is known for its high content of valuable, coating
mucilages. These have an anti-irritant and skin softening effect.
Mallow protects fine and sensitive hair. Originally, wild mallow
was found throughout southern Europe and central Asia. In central Europe it grows on walls, on roadsides and along fences.
Millet (Panicum miliaceum L.)
Millet contains a high percentage of proteins, minerals, vitamins
and trace elements, such as silicic acid which is important for
healthy skin and hair. It strengthens the hair and restores its natural elasticity. Millet is mainly found in North and South America as
well as in Asia and Africa.
Calendula (Calendula officinalis L.)
Calendula extract has a mildly antiseptic and anti-inflammatory
effect thanks to the saponins, triterpens and flavonoids it contains. It soothes and regulates the moisture balance in the skin.
Calendula is an ancient healing and decorative plant, which is still
cultivated today for medicinal purposes.
Linden flower (Tilia flos)
Linden flowers are rich in mild mucilages and flavonoids. They
have a soothing and calming effect. Linden flowers have a sweet
scent and can be found in Europe and North America, usually in
avenues, parks and deciduous woodlands.
16
Feines, empfindliches Haar
Dry and
brittle hair
longs for
suppleness
and lustre
Dry and brittle hair
Causes and appearance
Dry and brittle hair easily appears straw-like
and dull. This is due to a hypofunction of the
sebaceous glands where not enough sebum
reaches the scalp to supply the hair with an
adequate protective layer of lipids. There is a
lack of protective, conditioning oily corpuscles,
which keep the hair smooth, supple and glossy.
The causes for this appearance could be the
use of too strong oil-removing products, sun,
wind, too hot hair-dryer, hormonal fluctuations,
an unbalanced diet or even a low fat diet. This
type of hair is often found in people with naturally curly hair.
17
Dry and brittle hair
RAUSCH Egg Oil SHINE SHAMPOO
This mild conditioning shampoo has a tenside base of coconut oil,
enriched with valuable lecithin from natural egg yolks, purest glycerine
and selected vegetable oils. It gives dry and brittle hair new strength,
elasticity and natural shine. Natural proteins tangibly protect the scalp;
the hair becomes more resistant, it falls more softly and has a natural
lustre.
•Pure egg yolk (Ovum): rich in proteins – strengthens the hair
•Wheat germ extract (Triticum vulgare germ extract): high protein
content and vitamin E – strengthens and protects the hair structure

substances in order to rectify the imbalance of oil and water. Valuable
herbal extracts such as chamomile flowers and proteins from wheat
germ and wheat bran are important elements for conditioning a brittle
hair structure. They create a fine protective film, the hair is strength­
ened, smoother, easier to comb and beautifully shiny.
•Wheat germ extract (Triticum vulgare germ extract): high protein
content, minerals, vitamin E and amino acids – strengthens the hair
giving it elasticity and suppleness
•Wheat bran extract (Triticum vulgare bran extract): rich in starch and
mucilages – protects the hair and regulates the moisture content

❍ Nourishing
Proof of effectiveness: Hair lustre test
The external surface of the hair is made up of layered scales
(cuticula). In healthy hair this layer of scales is smooth, flat
and rounded. The light is directly reflected giving the hair
a natural shine. In dry and brittle hair the scales bend outwards and the edges can break. The hair looks dull and
straw-like. Locks of hair treated with RAUSCH herbal hair
care products were tested for their hair lustre.
Rough hair surface:
•indirect light reflection
•dull hair
Measurements were made with a green light laser with a
single beam angle of 40°. The scattered light makes it possible to quantify the hair lustre on the individual fibres. After
treating hair for one week with the RAUSCH conditioning
treatment system for dry and brittle hair, a significant improvement in the hair lustre could be ascertained.
Smooth hair surface:
•direct light reflection
•shiny hair

Stop stressed
scalp and
greasy hair!
Stressed scalp, greasy hair
Causes and appearance
The reasons for a stressed scalp and oily hair
can be hormonal, climatic, hereditary or stress.
Androgenic hormones support the sebum
production. Unsuitable, severely oil-removing
shampoos can drain the sebaceous glands and
lead to scalp problems. Washing hair daily can
amplify the problem. At higher temperatures
the sebum turns to a liquid which binds with
sweat to a sort of emulsion, which is rapidly
transported along the hair. As a result hair becomes oily too quickly and a hairstyle collapses
shortly after washing and loses its fullness.
The hair is oily and lank. Furthermore an oily
scalp is a breeding ground for bacteria, which
form enzymes (lipases). These lipases free fatty
acids which produce an unpleasant odor and
can lead to irritation.

Regenerating care
for sensitive
and damaged hair
Sensitive and damaged hair
Causes and appearance
Every day hair is exposed to a variety of different influences. If hair is stressed then the hair’s
structure is damaged. Extreme mechanical
demands (too hard, sharp combs, brushes
or too hot hair-dryers), environmental factors
(strong UV rays, air pollution), chemical treatment, chlorine and salt water; all add to the
hair’s stress. All these factors contribute to
roughening the cuticle layer of the hair. If the
ring-like external layer is damaged, then hair
will no longer shine because the light is no
longer evenly reflected from the roughened surface. The hair looks dull and lifeless. Damaged
hair is difficult to comb and seems unmanageable. Hairstyles lose their hold and shine. Long
hair needs to be particularly well looked after.
No wonder, if you consider a hair grows about
1 cm a month, by the time it is 20 cm long, it
is already 600 days old. During this time the
tips have been brushed about 600 times and
washed, dried and styled about 300 times.

The power of herbs
Chamomile flowers (Matricariae flos)
The valuable active ingredients of the chamomile flower have a
soothing effect, are anti-inflammatory and antibacterial. Chamomile flower extract has antiseptic active ingredients such as azulene, bisabolol and flavones which give the scalp a gentle and
equalizing conditioning treatment. Soothes redness and prevents
irritation.

(silicium), which it takes from the acidic, clay ground. Silicic acid
smoothes the external (cuticle) layer of the hair and strengthens
the connective tissue, tangibly increasing the resistance of the
scalp and hair.
Quillaja bark (Quillaia saponaria L.)
The imposing “soap tree” is indigenous to Chile and Bolivia. Once
free of the crusty layer, the bark is rich in saponines. Together with
other valuable active ingredients, this intensely lathering natural
substance produces an ultra-mild and gentle cleansing for scalp
and hair.

Dyed and permed
hair needs that
extra bit of care!
Dyed and permed hair
Causes and appearance
Chemical interference can damage hair. In
permed hair the cystine-disulphide bond is
split. At the end, when the hair has been reformed the bond is closed again, but there is a
permanent change in the keratin composition.
Dyeing hair blond is based on an oxidizing de-
struction of the natural color pigments. Usually
synthetic substances are used to color and depending on the formula they penetrate deeper
into the hair and combine with the keratin. If
hair is not looked after carefully it will dry out,
look dull and lifeless and can break and split.

The power of herbs
Avocado (Persea gratissima L.)
Pure natural avocado oil, extracted from the ripe avocado fruit, is
rich in vitamins A, E, D and minerals. Furthermore, with its high
content of unsaturated fatty acids it is extremely beneficial to
both scalp and hair. It strengthens the hair’s inherent protective
properties, prevents drying out, lengthens the duration of color
intensity and gives the hair natural suppleness.
Horsetail (Equisetum arvense L.)
Horsetail has an especially high natural silicic acid content (sili­
cium), which it obtains from the acidic clay ground where it grows.
Silicic acid has a smoothing effect on the external (cuticle) layer
of the hair and strengthens the connective tissues in the scalp.
This makes both scalp and hair tangibly more resistant.
Coconut (Cocos nucifera L.)
Coconut oil is obtained from the dried endocarp – the so-called
copra – of the coconut. High quality natural native tensides based
on coconut oil, palm oil and palm nut oil are processed to mild
detergent substances, which are also ideally suited for sensitive
scalp.

Graying and white
hair with a light
silvery shine has a
lively expression!
Graying and white hair
Causes and appearance
Hair color is produced in the pigment cells
(melanocytes) in the bulb-shaped hair root
when new hair cells are formed. Two different types of pigments are known: the yellow
to reddish-brown pheomelanine, which produces blonde, or redheads and the brownishblack eumelanine of dark brown and black
hair colors. All shades of hair color are based
on these two pigments. Hair starts to turn
gray once the pigment-producing melanocytes
cease producing and become fewer in number.
“Gray hair” is a mixture of normal colored hair
and colorless hair. The degree of gray depends
on the ratio of normal colored hair to colorless.
During this phase, and if subjected to intense
sun, hair can get a yellowish, neglected look.

The power of herbs
Sage (Salvia officinalis L.)
Sage contains valuable essential oils (thujon and cineol) – which
are aromatic and spicy – and tannins and flavonoids. In the correct combination sage is anti-inflammatory, antiperspirant and
relaxing. Sage disinfects and deodorizes the scalp and gives hair
a lasting pleasant and fresh fragrance.
Aloe vera (Aloe vera L.)
Aloe vera has strong moisture balancing and hydrating properties. It protects the hair from drying out. In the times of the ancient Greeks this member of the succulent family was already a
revered medicinal plant for both inner and external application.
Plantain (Plantago lanceolata L.)
Plantain is found along country roads and also in the finest lawns
in parks. Its elegant fibrous pointy leaves contain extremely mild
mucilages as well as silicic acid, tannins, flavonoids and minerals with a high percentage of zinc and potassium. Plantain has
an anti-inflammatory, soothing and strengthening effect on the
scalp.
Nettle (Urtica dioica L.)
Nettle has always played a major role in hair care. The plant contains a wide variety of active ingredients, e.g. vitamins (A, B2,
C), tannins, minerals (iron / magnesium), chlorophyll and amino
acids. The extract from the leaves and roots has a stimulating
effect, especially on the circulation, and also conditions the scalp.

The dandruff
problem permanently
solved!
Dandruff
Causes and appearance
Dandruff is not a hair problem, it is a scalp
problem. Under normal circumstances the microscopic skin cells die and flake off unseen.
If this natural process is accelerated the flakes
become visible – and undesirable.
Generally dandruff is divided into two categories:
• dry, fine flakes, no inflammation (pityriasis
simplex)
• large, oily, clinging flakes, with inflammation
and itchiness (pityriasis stearoides)
Usually dandruff is caused by a yeast fungus
(Pityrosporum ovale, also known as Malassezia
furfur), which is present in the bacterial flora
of every scalp, but more prevalent in dandruff
cases. Further reasons for dandruff may be imbalance in the metabolism, incorrect nutrition,
using aggressive, unsuitable hair care products, stress and / or climatic influences (excess
heating). Regular and correct care can ensure
long-lasting and gentle relief from dry and oily
dandruff.

Head lice (Pediculus humanus capitis) are wingless insects, which are only found as parasites
on humans and which nourish themselves exclusively on blood. They are about 3 mm long
and have 3 powerful pairs of legs with clips.
Nowadays head lice are becoming more and
more prevalent, both in cities and rural areas.
Children between 5 and 11 are particularly susceptible. And even the cleanest, neatest heads
are not exempt.
Long hair particularly offers ideal conditions for
head lice to lay their eggs.

Life cycle of a head louse
Nit – SEM image
Prof. Dr. H. Mehlhorn, Düsseldorf
Nits
A louse lays up to 300 long, oval eggs (nits) in her life time (a generation
renews itself within 24 days). The eggs are 0.3 – 0.8 mm in size.

Prof. Dr. H. Mehlhorn, Düsseldorf
Infestation
Head lice are passed from person to person by wandering from one
head to another. Generally they begin laying eggs behind the ears and
at the back of the neck. The difference between nits and dandruff is that
the nits are firmly attached to the hair and cannot be wiped off. Lice
can also be spread by using common articles such as bedding, combs,
brushes, toys and hats.
How do you get rid of them?
Lice and nits cannot be eradicated simply by washing hair with a normal shampoo. They need to be rendered harmless with RAUSCH Lice
Stop and then removed with the RAUSCH lice / nit comb.

RAUSCH Willow Bark
TREATMENT SHAMPOO
Natural active protection against head lice
A recommended prophylactic measure against parasitic infection is the
regular use of RAUSCH Willow Bark TREATMENT SHAMPOO, which
gently cleanses both scalp and hair. High quality willow bark distillate
(free of benzo-(a)-pyrene) and thyme oil have a mild antiseptic effect.
Experience shows that hair that has been washed with RAUSCH
­Willow Bark TREATMENT SHAMPOO does not get infected with lice.
This has been proven in over 2,000 application tests with children.
Application: 2 to 3 times weekly
✓
❍ Prophylaxis
Proof of effectiveness: a prophylaxis against head lice
Application test on different Swiss schools with subsequent survey
Design
For more than 10 years RAUSCH Willow Bark TREATMENT SHAMPOO has been distributed to various Swiss schools in which there are
acute cases of head lice infestation. RAUSCH Willow Bark TREATMENT SHAMPOO was used by over 2000 children and evaluated by
parents and teachers using a questionnaire.
RESULTAT
Over 82 % of the test participants who did not have lice themselves
but who were in contact with lice-infested children did not get head
lice. RAUSCH Willow Bark TREATMENT SHAMPOO therefore has an
effective preventative effect on head lice infestation.
Customer benefits
✓ Actively and gently protects against head lice infestation
✓ Soothes redness and itchiness
✓ Relief from greasy flakes

RAUSCH Lice Stop
Natural active treatment against head lice
Gets rid of nits and head lice. Naturally effective and gentle. With valuable
natural active ingredients such as andiroba, rapeseed and coconut oil,
quassia vinegar and the finest essential oils. Conditions scalp and hair.
RAUSCH Lice Stop is twice as effective!
➜ Gets rid of head lice – blocks their respiratory openings
➜ Attacks the nits’ shell – thus preventing new larvae from hatching
➜ A 90 % effectiveness against head lice and nits after 3 applications
within 14 days has been proven in a clinical study (GCP-conform –
good clinical practice)
RAUSCH Lice Stop is a new treatment against head lice without chemical insecticides. Based on natural active ingredients which effect the
head louse physically (suffocate it with vegetable oils) and attack the
nits (attack their shells with quassia vinegar). RAUSCH Lice Stop was
very effective in this study: within 14 days, after 1, 2, or 3 applications (3
for extremely persistent cases of head lice), over 90 % of test participants
were lice-free.
The attendant symptoms of head lice infestation such as itchiness, dryness and flakes on the scalp were already reduced and soothed after
the first application.

❍ Treatment
Conclusion: both the therapeutic necessity and the therapeutic benefit,
as well as the effectiveness of RAUSCH Lice Stop were clinically proven.

Against hair loss –
Keep what’s
there and promote
re-growth!
Hair loss
Causes and appearance
All human hair types have a limited lifespan
(approx. 5 to 7 years). Natural hair loss is necessary so the hair can renew. Above average
hair loss (alopecia) is when more than 80 to 100
hairs are shed per day. There is a difference be-
tween reversible hair loss, where hair falls out in
phases and the hair follicle remains intact (e.g.
circular hair loss), and irreversible hair loss,
where the hair follicle atrophies and no new hair
can grow.
47
Hair loss
Reversible hair loss (Alopecia diffusa)
can occur following an illness, after taking certain medication, after
pregnancy or other hormonal changes, with stress, climatic change or
a change in diet. In the case of reversible hair loss a gentle head massage with a stimulating hair tincture can help strengthen and improve
hair re-growth.
Circular hair loss (Alopecia areata)
is a common form of reversible hair loss. It is believed to be an inflammation of the hair root, which causes circular bald patches. Specific
herbal extracts and essential oils can make an effective contribution to
alleviating the situation. With this form of reversible hair loss, a head
massage with a stimulating hair tincture can strengthen and improve
new hair growth.
Irreversible hair loss (Alopecia androgenetica)
is usually hormonally hereditary, and particularly in men, it can mean
everything from a “widow’s peak” and tonsures to complete baldness.
In such cases, masculine hormones (testerone) have an effect on the
hair root which shortens the growth phase (anagen phase) of the hair.
This hormonal effect is hereditary. Irreversible hair loss can also be the
result of hair root damage through scarring or burning and cannot be
influenced by cosmetics.

Swiss Herbal Vitality Capsules
Beauty is harmony between body, soul and mind.
Beauty is a basic need of every person, whether woman or man. Beauty moves us; it attracts
us, triggering positive feelings. True beauty
comes from inside. Viewed holistically, a positive attitude and healthy lifestyle combined with
an ideal nutritional intake are the prerequisites
for natural beauty.
Why RAUSCH Swiss Herbal Vitality Capsules?
Reports are becoming more frequent of itchy,
irritated scalps, weak, thin and dull hair, dry,
flaky skin and rough and brittle nails. Stress,
environmental pollution, nicotine, alcohol, an
imbalanced diet and too little sleep can all lead
to nutrient deficiencies and affect the meta­
bolism.
Following years of observation and applying
their extensive scientific know how and analysis of natural ingredients, RAUSCH research
has developed the first Swiss Herbal Vitality Capsules: a uniquely holistic concept as a
source of beauty and vitality from inside.

RAUSCH Golden Millet SHINE SPRAY
Causes and appearance
The cuticle layer forms the outer layer of the
hair. The smooth layer of overlapping scales
reflects the light, giving the hair its shine and
suppleness. The longer and older hair is, the
more mechanical, physical and / or chemical
stress it has been subjected to. Then hair feels
rough and dry. It loses its shine because the
roughened surface can no longer reflect the
light evenly. The main reason is insufficiently
functioning sebaceous glands, which means
the scalp and hair are not being supplied with
enough sebum (oil). On the other hand chemical, mechanical and other external influences
(e.g. dying, perms, sun, etc.) can damage the
hair, causing it to appear dull and straw-like.

UV protection
and effective
conditioner for
every type of hair!
Sun protection for the hair
Causes and appearance
UV rays trigger off oxidation processes and
with them an increase in the formation of free
radicals, which can attack the cells. The consequences are damage to the keratin structure
and premature aging of the hair, because UV
rays cause chemical and physical changes to
occur in hair.
UV light causes
• the amino acid cystine to change through
oxidation to cysteic acid
• the amino acid tryptophan to decompose
• the hair to lighten and even turn yellowish, as
the natural pigments (melanin) and synthetic
hair dyes bleach out
The visible consequences for the hair:
• it becomes dull and lifeless
• it loses elasticity and becomes straw-like
• it becomes brittle and hard to manage
57
Sun protection for the hair
RAUSCH Green Tea UV-HAIR-PROTECTOR
All round protection for good-looking hair!
Application: spray on wet or dry hair before sunbathing. For longer
or more intensive periods of exposure to the sun, repeat periodically.
Wild pansy (Viola tricolor L.)
Special extracts of wild pansy function as a
natural UV filter. To complement and improve
the protective effect an additional highly effective liposome-based sun filter is used.
When the positively-charged particles come
into contact with the negatively-charged hair, they open and the active
ingredients create a micro-fine film around the hair to effectively protect
it.
Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.)

❍ Protecting
Conditioning
The unique cell-protecting complex with natural radical catchers from sunflower extract
combats the oxidation process and the associated formation of free radicals. Protects
the hair from structural damage.
Calendula (Calendula officinalis L.)
Calendula extract has an antiseptic, healing,
anti-inflammatory and regenerating effect on
the scalp. Lactoproteins regulate the moisture
balance, improve the hair’s elasticity and repair sun-damaged hair. Combing is tangibly
improved.
Green Tea (Camelia sinensis L.)
Green tea has an antioxidating effect, protects
the keratin structure from free radicals and
slows down the aging process.

The meaning of hair
The meaning of hair
In primeval times it was not just the soul which was believed to be
located in the hair. Hair was also an expression of strength and power
in men and a symbol of sensuality and eroticism in women. Throughout
time, in history, art and culture, hair has always played a major role and
to the present day it is still shrouded in mythological meaning. To this
day, for most people, hair and hair styles are an expression of personality and contribute largely to our self confidence and charisma. Healthy
beautiful hair is a sign of self respect. Hair is considered the mirror of
the soul – its appearance reflects both the psychological and physical
state of being. Throughout history hair styles have changed constantly.
Then as now hair and hair styles have a psycho-social meaning.
Long hair
•associated characteristics: sensitive, peaceful, protective
•emphasizes femininity, love of nature and the earth
•invariably found in primitive peoples such as Vikings,
North American Indians
•sign of freedom in the Middle Ages
•then as now, long, open hair radiates sexual attractivity
Short hair
•shorn heads in the Middle Ages indicated lost honor and dignity
(slaves and prisoners)
•increasingly popular for men from the end of the 19th century and
for women after World War 1
•today short hair is considered sporty, practical and with the different
styling possibilities it is fashionable and “in”
Curls
•are associated with childlike characteristics: innocence, playfulness,
tenderness
•baroque wigs are still used in law courts
•in the past flowing hair has been a symbol of feminine, forgiving and
fair justice
Besides its role as a decorative element in countless cultures throughout the ages, hair plays an important part in regulating the body temperature and sensitivity to touching. It protects the body from external
stress, cold and UV rays.

The structure of hair
The structure of hair
Hair is one of the skin appendages, such as nails, sebaceous glands
and sweat glands. Hair is formed in the skin and is nourished by elements which minute blood vessels supply to the skin, and thence to the
growing hair.
A hair is made up of the hair shaft and the hair root, which contains the
pigment cells which are so important for the color of the hair and the
nourishing blood vessels, plus the sebaceous gland and the arrector
pili muscle. The whole thing is called the hair follicle.
Hair shaft
The hair shaft is a thin strand of hardened cells and is the part of the hair
which is visible and touchable above the scalp. The diameter of a hair is
between 0.04 and 0.12 mm. Light colored hair is usually finer than dark
or red hair. Cross sections of hair can have various forms. Most hairs
are round to slightly oval.
A hair consists of three layers:
• cuticle
• cortex
• medulla
Cuticle
The cuticle layer is the outermost layer of the hair and envelops the inner layers. Its tough, dense structure protects the hair. 6 to 10 layers of
flat cells surround the cortex. They are arranged in a similar fashion to
roof tiles. The outermost, exposed edges are open to the tip of the hair.
The cuticle layer is colorless and therefore permits the light to shine
through. It makes up a good 10 percent of the hair’s diameter.
Cuticle
64

The structure of hair
The cuticle layer is important for the shine and elasticity of the hair.
In young hair near the scalp, the edges of the cells lie flat on one another. The hair is only slightly porous and feels soft and supple. The
surface reflects the light giving the hair its shine. The older a piece
of hair is, the more physical and chemical stress it has been through.
The edges of the cells open along the length and at the tips of the
hair, or they are worn away. These hairs are porous and feel strawlike and rough. The hair loses its gloss because the uneven surface
no longer reflects the light evenly.
Cortex
The cortex is the thickest of the three layers and makes up about
80 to 90 percent of the hair’s diameter. Hardened fibrous cells are
bundled together. Every fibrous cell is made up of thousands of
protein molecules. These long fibres are twisted together in bundles.
The fibrous bundles are surrounded and held together by a mass of
softer sulphur-rich keratins. The cortex also contains the color pigment melanin, which gives the hair its natural color.
White hair has no pigments and contains no melanin.
Medulla
The medulla is in the center of the hair. Its diameter varies according to the thickness of the hair. In thick hair it is like a canal and
gives the hair its stiffness. In fine hair it is only partly there or completely missing.

Hair bulb
All biological processes and cell division take place in the hair bulb.
The hair bulb is bedded in a tight tube of skin, the hair follicle. The
slight angle of the hair follicle’s position defines the direction of
growth of the hair. Additionally the hair follicle has a straight form for
straight hair and a bent form for curly hair. The hair follicle for hair on
the scalp or on beards is 3 mm on average and penetrates into the
subcutaneous fatty tissue. The hair bulb is rounded like an onion.
The papilla of connective tissue is put over this from below. In the
hair bulb, around the papilla, are two types of cells: the matrix cells
(keratinocytes, as in the epidermis) and the pigment cells (melanocytes). This is the living part of the hair. Micro-fine blood vessels
(capillaries) grow in the papillae, near the cells. The life cycle of the
hair, the cell metabolism and particularly growth all depend on the
blood supply from the capillaries. This is comparable to the cell migration and cell transformation (hardening) in the epidermis. Nutrients
are transported via the blood capillaries and waste products from the
cell metabolism are transported away.

The chemical composition of hair
In the mother cells of the hair bulb the amino acids join together into
proteins, so-called keratin. One of the important amino acids in making
hair protein is a sulphurous amino acid called cysteine.
Supplementary hair structures
Sebaceous gland
The sebaceous gland is a bag-shaped organ, which generally joins the
hair follicle just below the skin’s surface. It forms a single unit with the
hair and arrector pili muscle. Only in exceptions, e. g. on the eyelid and
nostrils, do the sebaceous glands lead directly to the skin’s surface.
Apart from on the palms and soles of the feet, sebaceous glands are
found all over the human skin. They are largest and most frequent in
the scalp.
The sebum production is guided by the sex hormones. The male sex
hormones (androgens) stimulate the sebaceous gland cells to divide.
The sebaceous glands are active at birth and during the baby phase to
protect the skin, then they cease activity until puberty. In puberty (13 to
16 years) the sebum production reaches its peak; it decreases from the
age of 30, and for women after menopause (estrogen increase) more
quickly than for men. The average sebum production is 2 to 3 grams
per day.
Sebum lubricates the skin’s surface and the hair. It keeps the skin’s surface smooth, elastic and protects against moisture loss. It also keeps
the hair from drying out. Together with sweat, sebum forms the acid
protection layer.
Sweat glands
Glands are organs which produce and emit fluid (secretion).
Sweat and scent glands: the sweat gland is a thin, hose-shaped organ.
It begins as a cluster between the subcutaneous layer and the dermis.
It has a spiral-formed delivery canal to the epidermis. The mouth at the
epidermis is visible as a “pore”. Sweat glands are located all over the
body. They are most dense on the forehead, feet and palms.
When one sweats the cells in the cluster form a watery secretion: sweat.
There are two types of sweat glands in the body:
– apocrine sweat glands
– ecrine sweat glands
66
The structure of hair
The apocrine sweat glands are situated near the hair follicle and especially in the arm pits. The secretion from these glands is slightly milky
and contains a wealth of organic components such as fats, proteins
and carbohydrates. By comparison the ecrine sweat glands are found
all over the body. Their secretion is colorless, consists of more than
99 % water, various acids and salts, and is acidic with a pH of 5. The
sweat reaches the surface of the skin, as fine droplets, along the sweat
gland canal, where it combines with the sebum to form the acid protection layer.
Both secretions are practically odorless when secreted.
The “unpleasant” body odor occurs when the sweat decomposes. Because the secretion from the apocrine glands is rich in fats and proteins,
an unpleasant smell is produced.

Arrector pili muscle
In contrast to hairy mammals, this muscle no longer plays a significant
role in humans. However, we can still observe its effect when we get
goose bumps from the cold. This muscle is not present in the eyebrows
or eyelashes.
Nerves
Because of the many nerve endings in the hair root, hair reacts more
sensitively to external influences such as wind or touch. It is therefore a
component of the tactile organ which should not to be underestimated.
67
The development of hair
The development of hair
In humans hair begins to develop in the third month of pregnancy. The
epidermis forms a plug of stem cells which embed themselves into the
dermis (corium). Within this plug the hair follicle forms. The hair starts
to grow from the papilla at the base of the follicle. By the time a human
is born the hair is so far developed that it is visible on the surface of the
skin, as fine primary hair. This first hair falls out in the first few weeks
or months. It is replaced by secondary hair. It is not until puberty that
humans get their final hair type: the terminal hair.
Depending on age and the part of the body there are three different
types of hair growth.
Lanugo hair (fluff hair): only occurs during the embryonic period and has
already been replaced by the fourth month of life at the latest. This is the
primary hair. Lanugo is the body hair of the foetus in the womb, which is
replaced after birth by vellus and sometimes terminal hair. Lanugo hair has
no pigment, is short, soft and has no medulla.
Vellus hair (wool hair): is also short, fine and contains little or no pigment.
It is the general body hair up to puberty, and also thereafter. The body hair
of a child up to puberty is known as secondary hair.
Terminal hair (guard hair): is long, thick and more or less heavily pigmented.
The hair on the head, the eyebrows and eyelashes are terminal hair at
birth. With the onset of puberty 90 % of a male’s vellus hair will be gradually exchanged for terminal hair. For a female this is only about 35 %. During its lifetime a hair follicle can form different types of hair.
The hair life cycle
Hair has cycles of growth and resting. The normal process of hair life cycle
is referred to as hair renewal. The average daily hair loss is 60 to 80 hairs,
in spring and autumn this can get up to around 100 hairs per day.

The hair life cycle
Of the 80,000 to 140,000 hairs on a head, approx. 90 % are in the
growth phase, 1 to 3 % are in the transition phase and 12 to 18 % are in
the resting phase. Hair growth depends on genes and hormones. Hair
on the head generally grows much faster than hair on other parts of the
body. This is because the hair bulbs in the head are particularly active.
The average growth of a hair is 0.35 mm / day.
Anagen phase (active growing phase) 1
During this phase the hair follicle produces a hair; it is in the active growing phase. The growth rate of an anagen hair is approx. 1 cm / month.
This means for a head of 80,000 hairs 25 to 30 metres of hair grow daily
or approx. 800 meters in a month. Around 90 % of the hair on a head
is in this stage. The duration of the anagen phase is 2 to 6 years. If the
hair matrix suffers mild damage during the anagen phase, it will move
prematurely from the growth to the transition phase, thereby shortening
the hair life cycle.

The three phases of hair renewal
Catagen phase (transition phase) 2
After the growth phase there is a change of processes in the hair follicle
within a week or two. The hair matrix regresses, the external walls of
the follicle close above the papilla forming an epithelial column. This
surrounds the base of the club hair and slowly pushes it towards the
skin’s surface.

Telogen phase (resting phase) 3
A club of completely horny cells forms at the bottom of the hair shaft.
This club hair rises in the follicle canal until it is just below where the
sebaceous gland meets the hair shaft. Within two to four months this
firm capsule gets thinner and thinner and the grip of the club hair in the
follicle canal gets increasingly looser. The telogen hair leaves the scalp
either by mechanical means such as brushing, combing or washing, or
it is pushed out of the follicle canal by the new hair of the next cycle.
During the resting phase the hair shaft is already completely horny,
hence the description “resting phase”.
With the help of a light microscopic hair investigation, the trichogram
(Tricho-Scan process), it is possible to ascertain how many hairs are
in the anagen, catagen and telogen phases. The trichogram gives valuable information about the course of the hair life cycle. A hair life cycle
of normal speed can thus be differentiated from a faster one.

The skin –
our largest sensory organ
The skin is much more than just the external
covering of the body. It is the medium of our
individual aura, it is considered the mirror of the
soul and its appearance is an expression of our
general well-being. In short the skin is part of
our personality.
It is therefore worth looking after your skin,
keeping it healthy and functioning well. With
an area of 1.52 to 2m2 and making up about 10
to 15 % of total body weight, it is the largest
human organ and, as such, has a variety of jobs
to perform.
71
The skin – our largest sensory organ
Functions
•The skin’s protective function is very important. The skin protects the
body from an assortment of external influences. A decisive protective
component is that of the hydrolipid film on the surface of the skin,
known as the acid mantle. It acts as a pH buffer system, maintaining the natural skin conditions. Such a balanced skin environment
supports a healthy skin flora and creates an effective barrier against
excessive intrusion by bacteria and pathogenic microorganisms.
•The body also relies on the skin to regulate its warmth by controlling sweat production and capillary circulation.
•Moreover the skin is also responsible for metabolic tasks e.g.
through eliminating salts and organic compounds. It is also the place
where fat and lipophilic vitamins are stored.
•With its pressure, pain and temperature receptors, the skin is also
an important sensory organ. Registered impulses cause the body’s
reflexes to assume the necessary protective reaction.
•Furthermore our sensory organ skin allows us to have intense interpersonal relationships, e.g. through caressing and tenderness.
Wellness factor
Generally the skin has a lot to do with sensuality and well-being. This
is already obvious in various sayings: “The finest clothing made is a
person’s skin”, things “get under our skin” and now and again we “get
goosebumps”. The way we treat our body covering affects our whole
well-being. That is why we should not only respect our skin and care for
it, we should also pamper it. A refreshing tingling feeling after a shower,
a velvety soft feeling after putting on cream – after all, that is a pleasure
for both body and soul!
And there is another sensual component which contributes to the wellness factor of skin care: the fragrance. When the nose takes in olfactory
stimuli these are transported straight to the limbic system – i.e. to that
area of the brain where the sensory perception is linked to feelings.
72
The skin – our largest sensory organ
Natural herbal extracts with their precious and perfectly coordinated
active ingredients raise the skin’s affinity to care products and treat
the skin to a gently relaxing pampering. They soothe redness and itching, are anti-inflammatory, mildly antiseptic and deodorising. Skin care
products with near natural fragrant compositions impart a sensual
olfactory experience and feeling of well-being.
All these factors helped determine the concept of the holistic RAUSCH
Herbal Body Care system. Based on traditional herbal competence
combined with the most modern scientific know-how, the RAUSCH
body care products are near-naturally effective and ideally skin-tolerable. The products support the natural skin protection functions in the

The skin – our largest sensory organ
Protection in three layers
The external layer of the skin is called the epidermis. It comprises several layers of blood-vessel-free horn cells (= keratinozytes). These are
formed in the deepest epidermal layer (= basal cell layer) and move
outward to form the external horny layer. The horn cells are ordered in
a similar way to bricks in a wall, the spaces between the cells are filled
with epidermal lipids, just like the mortar in a wall. This barrier protects
against moisture loss and penetration of foreign materials. The bond
weakens the further outward it grows and on the surface of the skin the
cells fall off as fine horny flakes. The full renewal process of the epidermis takes about four weeks.
The acid mantle of the skin (pH range 4.1– 5.8 according to the latest
research) forms over the epidermis and is made up of sebum, sweat
and components of the horn cell mass. The functional ability of this hydrolipid film is very important. It protects against chemical and microbial
attack and regulates the moisture balance and suppleness of the skin.
However it can be severely impaired by incorrect skin care, environmental factors, illness and ageing processes.
Below the epidermis is the dermis (or corium). Epidermis and dermis
together form the cutis. The corium is rich in collagen and elastin fibres
which make the skin both firm and elastic. A further function of the
corium, which is full of vessels and nerves, is to supply the epidermis
with nutrients. Also the sensory skin cells such as hairs, sweat and sebaceous glands begin here.
Below the cutis is the subcutis which is comprised more or less of fatty
cells and as such has a depository and cushioning function. The hair
root is found in this layer.

Refreshing and invigorating the senses
Our skin has the ability to protect and care for itself. Its sophisticated
structure combined with the acid mantle, which works as a pH-buffer,
creates an effective barrier to the external environment. It keeps the natural skin conditions in balance. Various environmental influences, illness or
aggressive cleansing can upset this natural self-protecting programme.
In order to feel really good in your skin you have to look after your skin
and pamper it with the right treatment.
A healthy lifestyle is an important start to maintaining beautiful skin. Of
course, that means being active. Sport increases the blood supply to the
skin, firms the tissue and stimulates the metabolism. However, salt water, chlorine, sun and wind stress the skin from outside and overtax the
natural barrier functions.
The blue RAUSCH Fresh Line vitalizes and refreshes. It offers gentle care
for normal, sophisticated skin-types and is ideal for active sporty people
who enjoy the sun, bathing and sport.
SHOWER GEL (blue)
This refreshing shower gel gently cleanses with natural quillaja bark
saponins and vegetable tensides such as coconut oil and palm nut oil
(pH value 5.6). The healthy barrier function of the skin is not affected. Ca­
lendula extract supports the conditioning properties and rosemary has a
stimulating and strengthening effect. This refreshing shower gel vitalises
and energizes. The fresh fragrance completes this invigorating shower or
bath experience.
•Quillaja bark (Quillaja saponaria extract): the dried bark of the “soap
bark tree” is rich in saponins and is therefore a natural lathering agent
in combination with other ingredients.
•Marigold (Calendula officinalis extract): is ideal for gentle skin care. It
has an anti-inflammatory and conditioning effect.

The power of herbs
Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.)
Rosemary originally comes from the Mediterranean region. It is
rich in essential oils (with the major active components being
cineol, borneol, pinen and camphor). Used externally, rosemary
has a stimulating effect on the circulation and on the supply of
blood to the skin as well as being bacteriostatic.
Quillaja bark (Quillaja saponaria L.)
The imposing “soap tree” with its leathery leaves is an evergreen.
It is indigenous to the western regions of South America and is
used in tribal medicine. The dried bark (quillaja bark) of the trunk
and branches contains saponins, which produce a naturally effective and gentle cleanser.
Marigold (Calendula officinalis L.)
The extract of the popular medicinal and ornamental plant with
the vibrant yellow or orange flowers has anti-inflammatory, healing, and mildly antiseptic properties. Marigold soothes the skin
and has a regulatory effect on the moisture balance.
Peppermint (Mentha piperita L.)
The leaves of this valued medicinal and tea plant with the strong
fresh aroma produce a menthol-rich essential oil which has a
pleasantly cooling and refreshing effect on the skin when applied
externally.
78
Dry, sensitive skin
Gentle, natural pampering
As we get older, the sebaceous glands become less and less active. The
reduction in sebum secretion means the hydrolipid film (acid mantle) of
the skin becomes thinner. This affects the natural barrier function of the
skin and its ability to trap moisture. It becomes dry and rough, tends to
wrinkle and is often taut. Dry skin is more sensitive to external influences
and susceptible to irritation, allergies or eczema. Furthermore environmental influences such as extreme exposure to the sun can accelerate
the dehydrating process. Stress, too, can affect the skin’s ability to regenerate and sap the skin’s resistance.
Dry, sensitive skin especially resents neglect or unsuitable care. That is
why it needs specific comprehensive and gentle treatment to restore oils
and lost moisture.
The green RAUSCH Sensitive Line soothes sensitive, irritated skin and is
specially tailored to the needs of this skin type.
SHOWER CREAM conditioning (green)
Dry, sensitive skin needs especially mild cleansing to fortify its weakened
acid mantle. Conditioning SHOWER CREAM cleanses very gently (pH
5.6). Wheat bran protects against drying out and regulates the moisture
balance. Horsetail strengthens and chamomile soothes the skin. It becomes velvety soft and relaxed. This gentle conditioning shower cream
is also suitable for use in the bath.
•Wheat bran (Triticum vulgare bran extract): thanks to its polysaccharides and proteins, wheat bran improves and protects the epidermal
environment of irritated skin.
•Horsetail (Equisetum arvense leaf extract): is rich in pure natural silicic
acid. It strengthens and firms the connective tissue.
•Chamomile (Chamomilla recutita extract): is a proven medicinal plant.
It soothes and is anti-inflammatory.
79

Dry, sensitive skin
The power of herbs
Wheat bran (Furfur tritici)
Is rich in proteins, polysaccharides and lipids. When used externally, wheat bran regenerates damaged and irritated skin primar­
ily by stimulating the reconstruction of the protective epidermis.
Horsetail (Equisetum arvense L.)
Horsetail is a prized medicinal plant due mainly to its high levels of
natural silicic acid (5 to 8 %). When used externally, it strengthens
and firms the skin, making it more resistant, and stimulates its
regeneration.
Chamomile (Matricariae flos)
This medicinal plant contains an effective essential oil (with
major active components chamazulene and bisabolol). Chamomile extract has a pleasant soothing and anti-inflammatory effect
and prevents irritation.
Mallow (Malva sylvestris L.)
Mallow is rich in mucilages (up to 10 %) and is therefore prized as
a medicinal plant. It is soothes irritations of the skin or mucous
membranes and is anti-inflammatory.
81
Very dry, flaky skin
Particularly rich intensive conditioner
Women in particular suffer from dry, flaky skin because the protective
horny layer of their epidermis is much thinner than that of their male
counterparts. As oestrogen production declines, so too does the activity of the sebaceous glands and with that the protective hydrolipid film.
This means the skin is less able to trap moisture. If the epidermis loses
too much moisture (transepidermal water loss: TEWL) this damages the
skin barrier. Intensive sunbathing, too long showers or baths intensify this
drying-out process. Very dry skin tends to be flaky and chapped. If the
skin’s barrier is damaged, then it is easier for harmful substances and
microorganisms to penetrate into deeper skin layers.
The valuable regenerating active ingredients in the rich RAUSCH Intensive Care Line “terracotta” improve even flaky, itchy problem skin, making
it feel and look better. The fine, sensuous fragrance of this product range
promises even greater pleasure.
OIL SHOWER CREAM
This mild OIL SHOWER CREAM ensures particularly mild and gentle
cleansing. Valuable natural cold-pressed oils from the Amazon region
protect the skin with a soft, supple hydrolipid film. OIL SHOWER CREAM
regenerates the damaged skin barrier and prevents further moisture loss.
It is free of PEG, silicon and mineral oils. It produces a fine creamy
lather, which moisturizes the skin, relaxing it and making it silky soft. The
sensual fragrance makes using this product a heightened experience of
well-being.
•Macadamia (Macadamia ternifolia seed oil): has high levels of quality
unsaturated fatty acids and vitamins. The valuable oil is similar to the
sebum of the skin and coats the skin with a very fine, protective film.
•Sweet almond (Prunus amygdalus dulcis oil): The almond is rich in
polyunsaturated fatty acids which regenerate the skin barrier and
restore elasticity to the skin. It is also rich in potassium which helps
